Hi let's learn a front batma. Now I like to keep one leg straight, if you get advanced
sometimes people like to straighten their leg out. For now keep that leg, the one that's
not working in a bent position. Always engage before there is any movement. Your leg that's
moving is going to move quick up but slightly slower on the down. Watch that you don't go
to fast up, so that you are actually putting a strain through the hamstring. Just a lift
to forty five or ninety degrees and not beyond it. Inhale and exhale set up those ribs. Now
I'm going to stretch my leg. My right one is moving. Make sure that you don't put too
much pressure into that leg that's bent. You don't want to curl the tail bone off the floor,
keep the tail bone to the top of the head all the way on the floor. A batma to the front.
Straight and down, lift and down. Quick lift, slow down make it as long as you possible
can on the lift and as long as you possibly can on the down. Now you can also do it from
a rotation once you get a little more advanced. Don't worry about that until you are advanced
working from a parallel knee upright, toe nail upright position is perfectly fine for
a batma to the front. And that's how you do it.
